Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PlaceLedger at none against ManaBox MTG's shown. PlaceLedger also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ManaBox MTG's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ManaBox MTG sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and PlaceLedger sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PlaceLedger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ManaBox MTG has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ManaBox MTG ships an update every 5 days, PlaceLedger fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
